This is my first attempt at growing! :) I dont think im doing such a bad job but would like some input from everyone on what they think I could be doing better? I read and read and read and read as much information as possible on a daily basis. Forums ARE GOOD for some info BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THEM IS THAT ITS LIKE AN **SHOLE!! EVERYONES GOT ONE and one person says yes the next says no and it really comes down to what this or that person preffers to do!! I had a grower from CO check my grow out and as soon as I told him im using a full spec LED and 2 added RED LED to supplement in flowering he said OHHH NOO LEDNWILL NEVER CATCH ON AND YOU CANT GROW WITH LED!!!?! WELL IM GONNA HAVE TO BEG TO DIFFER WITH THAT RESPONSE! ;) PMEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!! 1- WW AUTO & 2 SKUNK MASS AUTO, SEEDLINGS ARE La Diva and Flash Babylon. WW/SKUNK MASS were sprouted May 19.

Heres a pic of what they look like. :) idk but all look very healthy. Very strong stems! Good green color and OBLY color change on leaves is on the oldest fan leaves which im not concerned about because its def not burn or nute lock out. Thanks everyone let me know what you think!!? ;) Im perfecting my skills on the small scale first and then going to upscale everything! :) Im already a seasoned farmer/veg grower so I do know a little more then the basocs when it comes to growing plants.

nice how far into flowering are they? i have some 3 week olds i still have them in veg. im not sure if there auto or really what that means. do they just go into flowering automatically without changing the light cycle?

The 1-WW Auto & 2-SKUNK MASS Auto are all about 40ish days old and have all been flowering for about 2 weeks with explosive growth this past 5 to 6 days. Yes autoflowering is that the plants flowers due to age and not lighting schedule. So you want 18 on 6 off for your lights EVERY SINGLE DAY!! I have seen some people sat 24hrs of light from seed to harvest but it gives the plant NO REST TIME!!! I also have a few Flash Babylon and La Diva plants sprouted and are 2 weeks to a few days old. After this im doing AutoUltimate & Tutankomin Auto. Do NOT FEED YOUR PLANTS UNTIL THE END OF WEEK 3!!!!!!! Make sure they have VERY GOOD DRAINAGE and raise them if you can so the water can run off. I water every 2 -3 days and the from sprout to week 3 use filtered water(as always) and SuperThrive!! Its a littlenpricey for the tiny bottle($11) but only a few drops per watering and really helps the roots develop nicely. Im using Jobes OG fert +Bud Candy+Big Bud+Bud Set Spray once a week once first sign of flowers start. All together my entire setup probably cost about $400. I made the mistake of feeding my plants way TOO EARLY and the WW lobed the nutes but the Skunk Mass def showed signs of OVER FEEDING!! Pulled back for a few waterings and no problems what so ever and all new growth has been nothing but green.

Did you start them from seed? And what are they?? Is it bag seed?? Im gonna have to say that if you didnt buy them they PROBABLY ARENT AUTOs but then again I COULD BE WRONG!!!?!!! Just veg them out for 7 weeks and switch the lighting to 12/12, if they started to flower on ther own before the switch then yes they are autos if not then youve got 2-3 months left!! Thats why i buy autos!! I can perfect my craft a lot quicker and I dont have to wait 5 to 6 months for a harvest.

I'm not understanding what is the problem? In one pic the new growth looks yellow. But it might just be the photograph. If that is the problem then u need lime in ur mix. 1tbsp and scratch it in the surface of the soil then water in. if that's not the problem lemme know. Plants look good besides that.

I thought the same thing when looking at them. But OP seems pretty confident they've got it dialed in their first grow, so not much to add. Keep the pics coming. Nice little plants!
